    I love the honesty and humility in John’s voice. It’s rare these days to hear something that is deep lyrically, rich musically and resonates with the soul. A timeless gift that will be forever appreciated both now and for generations to come. I only wish more people stood still enough to stop and listen to John so that they didn’t need to feel so alone. Thanks John for keeping it real and non pretentious.

    Every album since I discovered him have dealt with subjects that are current events in my life. And has said things in a little sentence that I been trying to find the words forever. And spent many nights with his songs getting me through shit! And Idk how he is not known by the masses. Sorry for him that he isn't, but glad I am in on the big secret.

Your music is life changing to me. I am pleased to hear about your new album which I will be acquiring soon. This piece is well written and you are surrounded by amazing musicians here. I will incorporate your talents into my skimpy repertoire and play this for friends. Well liked.Congrats.

    i have been listening to John Moreland now for about 4 years, it was on of those rare occasions where YT recommendations got it right i was listening to random songs while moping around the house i had lost my Dad in the February of that year he was 54 it was about a week after his funeral and the song that began to play was "Hang me in the Tulsa county stars" Dam near broke me that day but at the same time made my day, now i dont look up at night without thinking of my Dad. lots of love from the UK hope i get to see you live one day.

    Saw him before Isbell’s show in Chicago. Guess it was 2013 since he opened for Isbell, but even the people I met waiting to get inside were telling me to buy at least 1 CD, his most recent was the one I bought. Listened twice today. Need to grab some more.

    Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul
    And don't you know, honey it's time
    Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll
    Take my hand, won't you be mine
    We were born homesick, the plot was understood
    We put away all the worry we could keep
    Maybe I'm too burdened to tremble like I should
    Maybe you're too sick to go too deep
    Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul
    And don't you know, honey it's time
    Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll
    Take my hand, won't you be mine
    Dissatisfaction, the tired familiar taste
    Coughing up bad blood in every rhyme
    Come on young savior, don't let your fever go to waste
    You got neon arms for new age crimes
    Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul
    And don't you know, honey it's time
    Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll
    Take my hand, won't you be mine
    Your heart's on the table
    You do what you're able
    Don't you suffer no pain over me
    Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul
    And don't you know, honey it's time
    Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll
    Take my hand, won't you be mine

Just kidding, hell doesn't exist; neither does god.
